Tor Books, which publishes Brandon Sanderson, announced release dates for the “commercial editions” of the four novels that Sanderson first offered through a ground-breaking Kickstarter campaign that raised nearly $42 million. Tor’s hardcover editions will hit the market three months after the “premium edition” reaches the Kickstarter supporters, who are currently the only ones who can obtain the ebook and audiobook editions.
